Here's the Deal with Hulu (and Why It Ain't Showing SNL Live)
Let's be honest, Hulu is the streaming king for binge-watching old sitcoms and indulging in questionable reality TV. But when it comes to live TV, it's more like a jester's fool than the king himself. The reason you can't catch SNL live on regular Hulu is because NBC, the channel that airs SNL, isn't included in the base subscription.
But wait! There's a twist (dun dun DUN)!
QuickTip: Keep a notepad handy.
Enter Hulu with Live TV: Your Ticket to SNL's Live Shenanigans
If you crave that live SNL experience (and the thrill of commercials that might actually be funny), then Hulu with Live TV is your knight in shining armor (or maybe Stefon with a ridiculous list of qualifications). This upgraded package includes NBC and a whole slew of other live channels, letting you watch SNL as it happens, along with all the late-night laughs your heart desires.
Just a heads up, though: Hulu with Live TV does come with a monthly subscription fee. But hey, at least it's cheaper than a night out (and way less likely to involve a regrettable karaoke performance).
So You've Got Hulu with Live TV: Here's How to Watch SNL Live
Now that you're armed with the right Hulu package, watching SNL live is a breeze. Here's the lowdown:
Tip: Remember, the small details add value.
- Fire up that Hulu app. Easy enough, right?
- Navigate to the "Live TV" section. Think of it as your personal comedy club.
- Find NBC in the channel guide. It'll be there with all the other channels, waiting to unleash SNL's hilarity.
- Tune in at 11:30 PM Eastern Time (8:30 PM Pacific Time) on Saturdays. That's when the live show magic happens.
Pro Tip: Set a reminder on your phone so you don't miss a single hilarious moment (or musical guest you might not recognize).
